• Designed, prototyped, and validated a calibration fixture that reduced calibration time in field and manufacturing by 70%. • Developed a precision hydraulic circuit to dispense water for process control application in a semi-conductor wafer fabrication step. Hydraulic circuit was controlled using a pneumatic circuit. This module was encased in a plastic enclosure. • Conceptualized the mechanism to make 5 load-bearing members of a machine frame, removable. Performed truss analysis to determine loading in each of the removable members as well as the loading condition of the frame. • Designed and prototyped an electro-mechanical box to house a sensor controller for high voltage application. Box housed both power and control elements of the electrical circuit, followed all electrical safety methods. • Redeveloped robot hoist to replace an obsolete winch motor with newer, efficient motor. Verified the required specs of the motor by analyzing the load on the motor. Analyzed the hoist arm to confirm no increased stresses due to new motor. Show less

Mechanical Engineer I

• Jul 2014 - Nov 2016

• Production released about 15 advanced modules and structured them to configurable BOM without affecting the supply chain. • Redeveloped the layout of a hydraulic module to add additional process elements into the existing layout of the module. This module also contained elements of pneumatic and electrical circuits to control the hydraulic circuit. • Designed the mechanical elements of a portable AC box containing both power and control elements. Performed structural analysis to ensure that the module can handle loads, performed tip-over analysis, and airflow analysis inside the box. • Replaced ~15 obsolete OEM components with no drop-in replacements with innovative design methods as part of the continuous improvement process and to sustain the modules. • Drafted and updated 2D drawings in Creo using GD&T dimensions. Defined necessary manufacturing symbols like welding symbols, surface finishes, GD&T symbols, etc. where necessary. Show less
